NEPAL 99-Trek Day 3-From Chomrong to Dovan (02/12/99)

From Chomrong, the trek gets tougher. The trek from Chomrong to Dovan is probably the most inefficient part of the whole trek. First we descended a few hundred meters to a valley carved out by a tributary of Modi Khola, followed by continuous ascent up to our destination for the night at Dovan.

On the mountain slope one can see the faint outline of the track leading up to Dovan.

NEPAL 99-Trek Day 2-From Ghandrung to Chomrong (01/12/99)

The trek from Ghandrung to Chomrong is not too difficult, as both villages are at about the same altitude. Most of the trek are along the contours of the mountains. The scenery does not change much along the way, with Annupurna South, Hiunchuli and Machhapuchhre towering over the trek. The mountains are dotted with villages perched on slopes and terraced farmlands.
